To tell someone that without the holy spirit he cannot use the bible doesnt make sense to me, may be you should hav gone further to just explain if you hav the holy spirit.
Firstly, It may never make any sense to you!
secondly, If you have the Holy Spirit; You'll know how to arrange quotations from the Bible.
Furthermore, 2 Cor 3:6 says ".... but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." without the holy spirit you can not use the Bible bcaz its the Holy Spirit who can only interprets and show you how to apply it to every situation of life.
